küttekeha

Küttekeha is an Estonian word that translates to "heater" or "heating device" in English. It refers to any appliance or system designed to generate heat for the purpose of warming a space or object. This can encompass a wide range of technologies, from simple portable electric heaters to complex central heating systems.

Common types of küttekeha include electric heaters, which convert electrical energy into heat through resistive elements. These are often used for localized heating or in smaller rooms. Gas heaters, powered by natural gas or propane, are another category, typically used for space heating in homes and buildings. Wood-burning stoves and fireplaces also fall under the umbrella of küttekeha, utilizing biomass as fuel for heat generation. Central heating systems, which distribute heat throughout an entire building from a single source like a boiler or furnace, are also a prominent form of küttekeha. The specific design and fuel source of a küttekeha depend on factors such as the size of the area to be heated, available fuel resources, efficiency requirements, and cost considerations.
